ADA Reform A Success Thanks To Members Like You

In February, Commercial members responded to NAR’S Call for Action on ADA Reform – thank you! As a result, the House of Representatives voted to pass HR 620, the ADA Education and Reform Act. HR 620 is designed to provide businesses an opportunity to fix alleged violations and halt the practice of “drive-by-ADA suits,” in which attorneys hit many businesses with demand letters for small, easily curable infractions of the ADA. NAR will keep working with the Senate on crafting a companion bill with the goal to see this legislation passed into law.
